Association of Indian Magazines (AIM) launches ‘Dastaan Hub’ that encapsulates the brilliance and strengths of Indian magazines to provide marketers with novel and advanced content marketing solutions.
Dastaan Hub is a collective work of publishers of well-known magazines to make the stories of brands alive with an end-to-end, customized, 360-degree content marketing strategy.
Dastaan Hub, the first of its kind initiative, assembles the creativity of over 125 magazines titles, their websites, and digital media assets to make them accessible to over 150 million Indians.
The mega content marketing studio offers brand marketers a pool of content marketing opportunities and solutions from magazines spread across different languages, demographics, formats, and interest groups.
The brand marketers are offered innovative and appealing marketing techniques for narrating compelling brand stories.
These could be anything from vanilla display advertising to producing gripping content that can hook the attention of the audience.
The leading publishers in Dastaan Hub include India Today, Outlook, The Week, Malayalam Manorama, Network 18 magazines, Business World, etc.
These magazines, published in 10 languages, are accessed in a print medium by almost 50 million people and digitally by over 100 million.
B Srinivasan, AIM president, commented with delight about the formation of Dastaan Hub. He said that the publishing team of each magazine can foresee the readers’ emotional mindset and consumer interests.
It is the inherent strength of the magazines for partnering with brands to create appealing brand stories.
Manoj Sharma, CEO, Publishing, India Today Group, further added that branded content of Dastaan Hub would follow the global ethical guidelines of content marketing.
